How to deep clean the fridge — UK monthly reset
Fridge smells are old sauce and wet drawers. Empty, wash, date-check.
Eight moves. Once a month.
- Cooler bag ready. Park perishables while you work.
- Everything out. See the real inventory. Bin expired without debate.
- Drawers in the sink. Hot soapy water. Dry fully before replace.
- Shelves wipe. Bicarb on stubborn sticky rings.
- Check seals. Wipe the rubber gasket. Crumbs cause seal fails.
- Restock by zone. Leftovers front, raw meat bottom, sauces door.
- Open-box dates. Marker on sauces. 30-day rule for most.
- Meal grid after. Free meal grid uses what you kept.
